Nationwide in
the United States about sixteen percent, or one in six people from 14 to
49 years old have a genital (HSV-2) infection. Luckily for the last ten
years or so genital herpes cases have stabilized as people become aware
about how widespread it is.
I am infected
with HSV-1 and HSV-2. I have had cold sores my whole life. 90% of the
population has them and they are widely accepted. Genital herpes, which
is basically the same as a cold sore, is just the opposite. There is a
stigma that surrounds this disease is just wrong. Some dates, will run
like you have the plague when you tell them you have genital herpes.
Before
this, I was happily single but dating a woman for a couple of months
when I became infected. The woman who I believe I got it from said she
tested negative for the disease, however I never saw any test results.
She also asked me to not wear a condom and said I had nothing to worry
about.
Three days later after having unprotected sex with her I
had my first outbreak. It started with massive unbearable back pain. I
was at work and had to leave early because the pain was so bad. It is
when I got home and was going to the bathroom that I noticed I had a
huge blister on my penis. I was in shock and disbelief and almost became
immobile as my brain and thoughts raced away. It was like a piece of my
innocence was taken away from me, I felt that depressed.
I have since dated women from an
STD dating site
and a couple of those women admitted giving genital herpes to their
boyfriends, then denied they had genital herpes after their boyfriends
became infected. They did both admit that they would never do it again
and that is th reason they only STD date now.
As much as I would
love not to have to tell a woman I have genital herpes, I just need to
tell them. I just can't lie about something like this, even though it is
in my eyes, not a big deal. If you start out dating a person and lie
about something like this, then shame on you I say.
Now comes the
hard part or easy part, hopefully.
Where do you find singles in your
area that are looking for a relationship that share your sexually
transmitted disease? Is there any Free online dating sites for people with herpes or Dating sites for people with genital warts.
First I would do a search on Yahoo, Google
and Bing and search for keywords like "Herpes love" or
"std matching". I found a
herpes dating group
near me on Yahoo and get their news emails about gatherings where I
live. Truthfully though, I have never been to one of these STD
gatherings because although I am outgoing, I would be extremely shy at
one of these events.
I have genital herpes and know what you are going through. a
Herpes Dating Site has helped me find quality dates with women who share my medical
condition.
Sometimes when you are diagnosed with something like this it is good to have
hope and faith that you are still the same person and are still capable of have
a wonderful relationship.
